Fiddle Making in Saxony.

1t is truly astonishing how many
violins there are imported into this
country annually, especially if we
consider that there is really but one
place i'm the world where violins
are made extensively. That place
is Markneukirchen, with its sur
rounding villages, Fleissen, Kim
genital, Rohrback and Graslitz, in
Saxony, Germany. There are alto
gether about $1,000 people living
there who do nothing else day after
day but make violins, and to go
there and watch them is one of the
most interesting sights | ever en-
joyed in my life. The inhabitants,
from the little urchin to the old,
headed man, the small girl
and the old grandmother, all are
engaged in making some parts of a
fiddle.
The old men make the finger
board from ebony and the string
holder or the screws. The small
bows have to make themselves USE
full by looking after the glue pot
on the fire and bringing their eld-
ers things they want.
The women generally occupJ
themselves as polishers. This re-
quircs long practice, and a family
that has a daughter who is a good
'polisher is considered fortunate
The polishing takes good deal ol
time, some Of the best vio!ins be-
ing twenty and even thirty times
polished. Every family has its pc
culiar style Of polishing, and they
never vary from that. There is one
that makes nothing but a deep
wine color, another citron color
another orange color, and SO on.

The American Woman's Gait

Why is it that so few American
women walk well, you wonder. Is
it lacing or bustles or what that
spoils their gait? And as you study
this problem another presents itself
quite worthy of pedal science. Ter
rible as the charge is, it seems none
the less true that nearly all south
ern women "toe in" Ten ladies,
all young, from Baltimore and New
Orleans, have crossed the sands.
One of them has planted her dainty
feet properly, angling them away
from each other as they fall. An
other has approached this, but the
remaining eight have either set their
feet in a straight line ahead or
pointed them little inward. Two
of them have displayed an ungainly
overreaching hip movement. Lewis
Carroll found the only word to de-
scribe it when, in recounting the
Staying of the jabberwock, he made
the word "galumphing." Those
two unquestionably "galumph."
But they have faces that could carry
worse faults than that, and of foot
education they take no thought
whatever.-Narragansett Cor. New
York Times.

A Curious Affection.

A North Greenland physician has
given an account of a curious affec-
ton that attacks the Esquimaux,
its name, in the vernacular OF that
people, being the equivalent in En-
glish of "boat freight" though Dan
ish physicians call it ''svimmelhed
l kajak, or vertigo of the kaiak.
According to the description, an
Esquimau, while sailing in his ka-
jak upon a perfectly calm, smooth
sea, is suddenly seized with feel
ing that his boat is tipping to one
side; he jumps to the other to pre-
serve the equilibrium, but this only
makes matters worse, and he aban-
dons himself to anxious and even
frenzied attempts to keep the boat
from tipping; he can no longer
fish, and his troubles do not cease
until he gets in sight of shore or OF
another boat. These attacks are
not accompanied or preceded by
any malaise or nausea, nor does
there appear to be any true vertI'
ginous sensation, but rather an hal
lucination Of the sense of equllib.
rum. The attack occurs when the
subject is apparently in good health
and is unattended with headache
commissions or paralysis.

A Turf Gamblers Calculation,

By picking four winners at Sara
toga the other day you could have
made over S250,000 on a little $40
note. These figures may appear to
be rather exaggerated, but l will
show you how this amount might
have been won. In the first race
the odds against Matte Lauraine
were 10 to 1. By placing your
so on Matte at these figures
YOU would have had $40 when
the race was over. I'm the next
race Miss Motley, who won, was
another 10 to | chance. Had
you put your S1l0 on Miss Motley
you would then have had $l,210
In the Iroquois stakes bookmakers
placed 20 to against Branzomarte,
who defeated Goliah, the favorite.
Your winnings up to that stage,
had they been on the Branzomartc,
would have been increased to S25,-
4i0. Warrenton, who won the
steeplechase, was another 10 to /
shot. Twenty-Five thousand four
hundred and forty dollars on War
renton would have brought your
total winnings on the four races
up to 1919, ,510.-Globe Democrat.

Ewes on Chinese Junks.

Chinese junks and boats have
eyes carved or painted on the bows
which are usually supposed to be a
mere fanciful form Of ornamental
ton, but they have a real meaning,
as Mr.. Fortune found. In going
up one of the rivers f.om Ningpo
he was startled ore day by seeing a
boatman seize his broad hat and
clap it over one Of the "eyes' OF
the boat, while other boats on the
stream were similarly blinded.
Looking about for an explanation,
he saw dead body floating past,
and he was told by the boatman
that if the boat had been allowed
To "see" it some disaster would
surely have happened either to
passengers or crew, before the voy'
age ended.-All the Year Round.

y. y. Dispatch.

The death of the notorious bank
sneak, James Burns, in Hamburg,
some days since, recalls the story
of one of his boldest plans, which
was laid against the great banking
house Of Drexel & Co., in this city,
at the time when their office was at
"a S. Third street.
In the old building the bonds
were kept during the whole day in
a wooden drawer, which was only
about twelve inches from any one
standing in front of the counter,
which was made of wood.
1t was proposed to wait until
afternoon when the valuables had
all been removed and the women
were scrubbing the office. One of
the "sneaks" was then to enter as
if to write a note in a hurry; he
would be followed by others, one
of whom, while apparently leaning
against the counter was to cut a
hole eight inches in diameter direct
ly opposite the end of the drawer,
and through the drawer itself. This
would take not more than five min
utes, AMI traces of the cutting could
be covered up in no time by means
of walnut putty. The next day
when the bonds were put back into
the drawer one member of the gang
was to engage the attention of the
clerk while another would push
through the detached piece, under
cover of a large cloak, and secure
a handful of bonds. Burns was
foiled in his attempt by the fact
that just as he perfected the scheme
he was arrested, and before he re-
gained his liberty the bank had
moved.
He was baflled in another scheme
in 1877 by mere luck. He and Hor
ace Horan, alias Little Horace,
had followed a messenger to the
Western Savings Fund Bank a
Tenth and Walnut streets, and were
Just about to seize the bonds when
they were scared off by the cntrancC
of customer.
Burns, or "Big Jim," as he was
familiarly called, was born in Bos-
ton, Mass, in 1910. His liberality
to his pals gave him the title o
"the prince of thieves" and it is
well-known fact that when any o
his associates were in trouble ht
contributed largely to support theil
wives and children. He has served
terms in Sing Sing, New York anc
Boston, and has an internationa
reputation.
He escaped from Raymond street
Jail in Brooklyn on Friday, July
81, 1888, and since that time ht
has been in Europe. His last enter
prise was the robbery of the Vereins
bank, in Hamburg, on June %
1885. He succeeded in getting $44,
600. He was the man who origin
ated the "sneak" method in th'
robbery of banks, the most DARN;
of all the schemes by which a banl
is worked" His associates il
the invention of this method art
now reputable merchants and have
deserted their evil ways forever.
